TOKYO, May 12, 2017 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that its Mexico operations have established two new factory automation (FA) service facilities-the Mexico FA Center in Queretaro and the Mexico Monterrey FA Center in Nuevo Leon. The expanded network will enable Mitsubishi Electric to strengthen and accelerate customer support as well as the servicing of FA products in Mexico. Both centers will begin operating on May 15.

Investment in manufacturing is increasing in Mexico, including in the electrical and electronic sectors. The trend is expected to contribute to increased demand for FA devices and a broad range of related services.

Mitsubishi Electric currently services products through its Mexico FA Center in Mexico City as well as a network of authorized local agents. To keep pace with ongoing domestic investment while continuing to provide high-quality service seamlessly and rapidly, the company decided to expand its service network by opening the Queretaro and Monterrey FA centers.

Under the new arrangement, Queretaro will become the principal FA center for the Mexican market.
